Surge and Transient Protection
Surge protection planning that works with the earthing system
Surge protection is most effective when it is coordinated with the earthing, bonding, and lightning protection strategy for the whole site.
What this service covers
Electrical surges and transient overvoltages can damage sensitive equipment, solar PV components, controls, and distribution infrastructure. Devices alone are not enough if the earthing and bonding system behind them is weak or poorly coordinated.
Thunder Ohms Consulting reviews surge and transient protection as part of the wider protection path. That includes the source of risk, the installation environment, available earthing, bonding quality, lightning exposure, and practical protection points.
This service is especially useful where lightning protection, solar installations, sensitive electronics, or insurance expectations make coordinated protection important.
How we approach it
- Review the electrical infrastructure and likely surge exposure.
- Check how earthing, bonding, and protection devices work together.
- Identify practical improvements or missing protection points.
- Provide recommendations that can be implemented with the wider site plan.
